Gurno's winning receipt came from Gallery & Frame Shop, where she purchased frames for her children's family portraits as gifts during the holiday.

“I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now,” said Gurno. She is looking forward to sharing some of her winnings with her family during a night out at Joe's Fox Hut in celebration of her big win.

The Shop Small raffle is part of an annual marketing campaign organized by the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing people, activity, business and a thriving civic life back to the heart of Fond du Lac.

Gurno was one of 177 individuals to enter the Shop Small raffle by submitting receipts for purchases in downtown between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2017. Individuals received one entry for every $10 spent downtown. Submitted receipts totaled $49,865 in downtown spending and included transactions at 52 different downtown businesses. Entries showed that 88 percent of spending downtown was done by consumers from Fond du Lac and North Fond du Lac, with most transactions occurring in the week leading up to Christmas.

“Fond du Lac is continuing to come out and support the small, local businesses who call the downtown home,” said Amy Hansen, executive director of the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership.
